Microplastics pollution has been documented in the global environment, including at sea, in freshwater and in atmospheric fallout. Ingestion of microplastics by multiple kinds of organisms has been reported and has received increasing attention, because microplastics not only act as a source of toxic chemicals but also a sink for toxic chemicals. To better understand the great concerns about microplastics and associated toxic chemicals potential exposed to the organisms ingesting the debris, we should know more about the occurrence, fate, and risks of microplastics in the environment. What we should do depends on this better understanding. Integr Environ Assess Manag 2017;13:476-482. © 2017 SETAC.
微塑料污染在全球环境中都有记录，包括海洋、淡水和大气沉降物中。已有报道称多种生物会摄入微塑料，并且这一现象越来越受到关注，因为微塑料不仅是有毒化学物质的来源，也是有毒化学物质的汇。为了更好地理解对微塑料以及摄入这些碎片的生物可能接触到的相关有毒化学物质的高度关注，我们应该更多地了解微塑料在环境中的存在、归宿和风险。我们应该做什么取决于这种更好的理解。《综合环境评估与管理》2017年；13:476 - 482。© 2017 SETAC。
